I believe people should be treated with kindness and respect. Economically and politically I lean quite far to the left. I am also decidedly queer.

Even on projects that don’t feature AI, it’s often difficult to justify how little voice actors get paid for work on projects that sell in the millions
So it’s fascinating to see folks say “they were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.

The argument I'm hearing about it is "the voice actors got paid for it so it's all good"
We don't know how much they got paid, or if they get royalties every time those lines get used.
It's a slippery slope being brushed off because "game good"
if Arc Raiders had plagiarized art, would it matter?

This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.
Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.
A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Everyone deserves the amount of tasty, nutritious food that they want for their body. Yes, that includes treats. No, their size has nothing to do with it. It's a basic bodily autonomy issue. No one should be too poor to eat the food they want.
